Chapter 0277 The mockery of fate

Banshee Castle, aristocratic area.

Little Powell stood in the corner of a garden, nervous and frustrated. A steeple building dozens of meters high stood in front of him, magnificent and extremely shocking. He looked up and could not even think of how such a huge fortress was built. Computer terminal::/

A few days ago, the Powell family suffered a devastating blow. Little Powell escaped from the territory like a broken dog and came to Banshee Castle in panic. He hoped that the current controller of the Pheles family could listen to his pitiful experience.

It was obviously a tragedy of a destruction of a knight leader, but after hearing this, a low-level butler of the Fiers family said a little "hmm" and made Little Powell wait for Little Powell and was very busy, not sure when he would see him.

Little Powell thought that he would be given the attention of the superiors and received immediately. But in fact, he was the only one who was worried, and his experience did not cause much trouble at all.

After staying in the hotel for two days, Powell, Little, would come to the lord's mansion on time every morning and afternoon to humbly ask, "Do you have time to see me?"

After asking, Powell was disappointed when he asked. On the afternoon of the third day, Louis Philes could finally take a quarter of an hour to ask about the tragedy of a certain Knight leader under his command.

Before dark, Powell was standing in the garden of the lord's mansion waiting. He was surrounded by flowers and shrubs produced by arcane techniques, and a beautiful magic fountain. It was his first time to come, not only sighing at the luxury of the superiors, but also jealousy.

The city lord's mansion covers an area of ​​more than ten acres. Little Powell looked up at the spire for a long time and unconsciously compared it with his own wooden fortress. The difference between him and his heart felt humble and depressed.

He has never longed for power and status as he is now, but he also knows that power is like the gloomy sky that can feel the depression it brings, but he cannot control it.

"Mr. Powell, please come here." A servant called.

Little Powell hurried forward. The servant of the City Lord's Mansion looked at him deliberately and reminded him again: "Please pay attention to your identity and be respectful. Your Excellency Pheles will ask you a few words and just give a normal answer."

Little Powell nodded, feeling even more miserable. He had not inherited his family business yet, so he could only be considered a civilian, and he could not even enjoy the title of "Your Excellency" and "You". The servants of the lord's mansion openly taught him a lesson.

Especially the saying "Pay attention to your identity" is even more heartbreaking, as if a big hand violently uncovered the scars of Little Powell, reminding him that he is just a son of a pariah.

The servant ignored the ever-changing expression of Little Powell and led him through the city lord's mansion. After walking a maze-like journey, the two stopped outside a study room and then the personal maid went in to report.

The maid entered for a while and then came out, but replied indifferently: "Mr. Powell, your situation and demands are known by Mr. Phils. He said he would deal with it as appropriate. You should go back and wait patiently."

"I" Powell finally burst into anger in his heart. If he hadn't known where he was, he would have sweared, and even rushed into the study to find someone to fight. But now, "I understand."

Little Powell lowered his head, lowered his head deeply, full of grievances and sadness. He followed the servant back and left in a daze. The moment he walked out of the gate of the city lord's mansion, he looked back at the tall and magnificent and shocking building, and his heart was full of hatred.

"Are you Powell?" Outside the lord's mansion, a wizard apprentice in a robed robe shouted, and looked at him with contempt.

"It's me." Little Powell's heart was gloomy, and he answered mechanically, and asked again, "Who are you?"

"His Excellency Bank wants to see you," said the wizard apprentice.

Bank?

Little Powell's tough brain forced himself to make a fuss, "Is he the leader of the city wizard group, the strongest wizard in the north, and the master Bank who is known as the "Guardian of the Banshee Castle"?"

The wizard apprentice nodded proudly, "You missed a title. Your Excellency Bank specializes in the 'Prophecy Department', and he is also called the 'true wise man'. The master is somewhat interested in the experience of the Powell family, so I would like to ask you a few words."

Without any refusal, the wizard apprentice who came to call people pointed to the carriage parked nearby and got on the carriage first. Little Powell was a little strange, but now he had no choice but to meet the "true wise man" in a uneasy mood.

After getting on the bus, the wizard apprentice asked in his private capacity: "I heard that your family was destroyed and your father died, who did it?"

Little Powell was stunned and couldn't speak. After a while, he stammered and replied, "Destroyed by the evil demon."

"What evil devil?" the wizard apprentice continued to ask.

This question is even harder to answer. Little Powell's brain hurts, his mouth and tongue are dry and he thinks repeatedly. He gritted his teeth and whispered half a sentence: "It was destroyed by a demon named Victor Hugo."

At this moment, fate mocked those self-righteous people

Lorraine was also in a state of uneasiness at this moment. A week of study had ended, and Teacher Seth announced that she would take a small test. Although he did not say what would happen after the test, the first 23 students were all scared and lost their minds.

The reason is very simple. Uncle Zhou gave him a very good living treatment. He had free food and board, had enough food in the morning, noon and evening. Each person gave him three sets of new clothes, and even his shoes, socks and underwear were all included. Recruiting apprentices also benefited his family, providing extremely high-paid jobs, and providing a stable life.

After a week like this, all the students have weighed a few kilograms of meat. Lorraine was originally thin and small, and she could count every rib after taking off her clothes, but now she has changed a lot.

But every time he went to class, Seth frightened the apprentice from time to time. He didn't say that there were too many people and could not afford to support them, or that the master could not use so many people at all, and he should fire those useless wastes. Every time he said this, the students were frightened. Mobile::

No one wants to return to the original state of hunger and coldness, and all of them are rare in their current life. Everyone racks their brains and studies hard. However, the critical hit brought by the basic test has been a huge shadow until now, and thinking about it is a nightmare.

The learning content arranged by Zhou Qingfeng is actually very simple. After all, Seth doesn't study for a long time and can't teach any advanced knowledge. Lorraine memorized all the textbooks she copied before, but she was unsure.

"If the exam fails, I will be finished, and my whole family will be finished." After class, Lorraine secretly ran to Falstin, "I'm done, you're done too. You can't get a copper plate from me."

Faced with the completely anxious Lorraine, the thin black and thin Farstin also frowned. He has also memorized all Lorraine's textbooks in the past few days, not only taught all the contents of Lorraine word by word, but also added a lot of expansions.

The conflict between the two came from Farstin's advice to Lorraine to calm down so as not to affect her performance in the next day's exam. As a result, Lorraine was furious and cried on the spot. After crying for a while, Lorraine asked again: "How to calculate the circular area?"

This problem is really difficult!

Farstin said with a bitter face: "I am a history student. Mathematics is not really good at me. I only remember there is a formula, but I didn't care at all."

Farsting repeatedly explained the next three questions in the survey test. Relying on spare time, Lorraine was instilled with a lot of knowledge about geography, history and humanities. Mathematics was a problem, and he didn't know how to calculate the area of ​​the circle?

"Ko Seth said that the master attaches great importance to mathematics and believes that mathematics is the most important knowledge. People who don't understand mathematics are idiots." Lorraine frowned, "What if I can't do this problem again and again?"

"It shouldn't be said that this question should be made again." Farstin frowned. He wanted to comfort Lorraine, but who would comfort him?
